Meet Copper, the vibrant and ever-energetic 5-year-old purebred Border Collie! This handsome blue merle boy has a story that pulls at the heartstrings: He recently lost the loving home he cherishes since puppyhood, but darn it, he’s bouncing back like a champ! 🎉 Copper is a whopping 48 pounds of love, laughter, and pure joy. Whether it’s chasing after a ball or scrambling to greet every human he meets, his enthusiastic spirit is downright infectious! He adores people of all ages—especially kids—so if you have little ones, he’s going to be their new best friend! 💖 Now, here’s a heads up: Copper is not a fan of cats, so a feline-free home is a must-doski! 🐱❌ This wonderful pup was accustomed to the outdoor life, and while he’s gradually learning the ropes of indoor living, a little help from you will go a long way. He’s got a playful, puppy-like demeanor that’s eternally happy, curious, and, goodness, he runs everywhere! He’s the type that finds joy in the little things—like treats! 😋 Copper is already crate trained and takes his treats with the utmost gentleness. He’s learned to head into his crate on command, particularly when a tasty snack is involved! And let's talk about commands! “Copper, come!” is a favorite, and he’s genuinely eager to please. He might think he’s a lap dog, and you just have to love that about him! Copper is learning to sit for affection instead of jumping up, and he walks moderately well on a leash... so with just a bit of training, this pup is going to shine! 🌟 He loves adventures—especially to the dog park, where the humans give him belly rubs as much as he enjoys sprinting with his furry pals. 🐕 Wouldn’t a fenced yard be delightful for this bundle of joy? A little space to run, romp, and wrestle with his canine companions is essential. Yes, Copper has a playful housemate, and another furry friend would truly help him thrive. Consistency and a structured routine will help him feel secure as he navigates the world of indoor living. And let’s be clear, no cats or small critters—he’s been known to get a little too focused on them. 🦙🦚 If Copper steals your heart, all you have to do is apply through the Buddy App to bring this charming canine into your life! Don’t wait—Copper is waiting for his forever family, and he can’t wait to meet YOU! 💖🐾
